Hi Everyone! Welcome to my project page to record a CD!!!!!
As many of you know, last summer I wrote, produced and performed in a one woman show, THE A**HOLE IN MY HEAD, which received an “Agnes Moorehead Award” from David Noh at the Gay City News – listing the show as one of the Top Ten best live performances of 2009! I would now like to record a CD using many of the songs from the show… and perhaps a few surprises! I plan to perform my show again at the end of the summer… and if I reach my goal quickly, I hope to have the CDs finished by the time we put the show up again!
Here are some things people said about the show:
"Dawson’s bracingly fresh reinvention of cabaret takes every performer’s worst enemy, namely herself, and makes her into a hilariously obnoxious, though unseen, other character onstage. It was deliciously absurd, as well as tellingly real, and offered the funniest line of the year: “Oh God, not another ballad!” Dawson’s gorgeous voice didn’t hurt, either. With her lovely looks and screwball take, she was like a cabaret version of Carole Lombard." – David Noh, Gay City News
"I laughed my ASS off!" -- Hayden Jones, www.gaylifenyc.org
"I rarely get jealous sitting in the audience, but watching Kate... I was jealous." -- Sandy Duncan
“A sharply funny one-woman show!” – Manhattan Users Guide
"What a smart and funny show with a wonderful singer at the center of it!” – Jeff Blumenkrantz
Check out the rewards I’ve listed… and if there’s something else you have in mind, email me! I’m open to anything! Well, maybe not anything…
